Guild bank inherently flawed

The tedium of only allowing a few members access to a guild bank then trying to dole out items to guild members is very real. For a guild bank to provide any benefit it must be open to nearly everyone. The problem this presents is that one person with access, whether on a hacked account or not, can clean out our entire bank. Currently, the only access restrictions in place are in terms of rank. While the obvious answer is more ranks with varying permissions, it still boils down to one person with access having the ability to clean us out. This has already happened to us twice now, and it has called our attention to the lack of options here.

In previous MMOs I’ve played leaders have the ability to set a daily limit for each rank, preventing members of that rank from withdrawing massive amounts of items and the disappearing. A daily item/money withdrawal limit would allow us to open the guild bank to all, without the fear of being robbed or the making of many convoluted ranks. I would like to see this feature in GW2 A.S.A.P. please!

The frustrating form-fed response I got to my latest theft ticket simply informed me they would “look into it”, but could not give back any items or money stolen. I was given a line about trusting members in terms of rank. Trust isn’t the issue, since even if a high ranking member is hacked, we still lose all our items when the thief cleans us out, and we “trusted” that member. Once they get guilds working I forsee many accounts such as this. Closing the bank to all but a few defeats the purpose, puts even more strain on officers and higher-ups, and is just bad business.

Borlis Pass, Absent Without Leave [AWOL]. We’ve experienced most of the issues I see here off and on since launch. While not a bug, I’d like to bring up a topic that hits close to home for us, guild bank access.
